Author Description

Two years after the solar storm that knocked out power around the world, Astoria stands as an example of all that can be right about a community. Eight women have built lives out of what remains. Jackie and Taylor are summoned to a distant summit where their journey is a test of resolve and a leap of faith. Grace and Meg shoulder the weight of leadership after returning to Astoria and face new and old dangers as the community’s fragile peace is threatened. Anna and Lexi find their world challenged by a charismatic outsider and must work together as illness sweeps through the town and fear takes root. Sam and Laura fight to protect their home from a hungry bear and the specter of sickness that strikes too close to the heart. As uncertainty deepens and shadows gather beyond Astoria’s borders, every bond will be tested. In a world that refuses to be tamed, hope is a stubborn thing and the courage to hold fast to love, to truth, and to each other may be the only light left when darkness rises.
